DR Detector:
A portable DR Detector is identified by its nickname. A fixed DR Detector
is identified by its serial number.
On DX-D 300 and DX-D 600 the modality position is not selected
automatically. Use the drop-down button on the software console to select
the modality position.
Connection to the detector is set up.
6. Click Start Calibration.
A message may be displayed to remind you of using the correct modality
settings.
7. The DR Calibration Tool will request to perform a series of exposures.
Refer to the Exposure Sequences further in this manual.
Before making each next exposure, make sure that the X-ray system is
ready for making the exposure and that the DR Calibration Tool is ready
for receiving the exposure.
8. After the last exposure, the calibration is finished.
• Make a flat field exposure and check that there are no abnormal
inhomogeneities in the image.
• If the calibration was successful, the new calibration values are stored
and used for all new exposures on the DR Detector. Proceed with step
10.
• If the calibration was not successful, the old calibration values are
restored and the DR Detector remains operational.
In that case, it is advised to check collimation and modality setup (tube
position) and retry the calibration procedure as soon as possible.
9. Try out the following remedy (problem solving):
• If the calibration fails this may be due to magnetic or electromagnetic
interference or power supply interference. Check the environment,
reposition the DR Detector and restart the calibration procedure.
• If the calibration fails this may be due to uneven exposure. Check the
X-ray beam path for presence of X-ray opaque objects or particles, e.g.
on the upper surface of the DAP meter.
